Come along and make your mark with the Young People’s Collective

Learn about our 12-week project working with artists and curators, considering how we give and take from nature.

Inspired by ‘éist’ – an Irish word meaning to listen and pay attention to the natural world – you are encouraged to contribute towards a new collaborative mural exploring an important question: How does it feel to take from nature?

Responding to the current exhibition A Fragile Correspondence, the Young People's Collective (YPC) invites participants to consider the universality of carbon: from life, emissions, archaeological dating and charcoal. We have collaborated with Soul of Fire to create our own charcoal to reflect an intimate and thoughtful engagement with the land.

Through mark-making with charcoal, the mural will evolve over the weekend, growing from meaningful conversations and reflections into a dynamic interactive tapestry. Come and make your mark!

This activity is open and suitable for all.
